Types of Hepatitis?

Hepatitis A virus (HAV):
HAV is present in the feces of infected persons and is most often transmitted through the consumption of contaminated water or food. Infections are in many cases mild, with most people making a full recovery and remaining immune from further HAV infections lifelong. 


Hepatitis B virus (HBV):
HBV is transmitted through exposure to infective blood and other body fluids. HBV can be transmitted from infected mothers to infants at the time of birth. Transmission may also occur through transfusion of HBV – contaminated blood and blood products, through injections during medical procedures and through injection drug use. Safe and effective vaccines are available to prevent HBV.


Hepatitis C virus (HCV):
HCV is mostly transmitted through exposure to infective blood. This may happen through transfusion of HCV – contaminated blood and products, contaminated injections during medical procedures, and through injection drug use. The sexual transfusion is also possible but is much less common.  

Hepatitis D virus (HDV):
HDV infections occur only in those who are infected with HBV. The dual infection of HDV and HBV can result in more serious disease and worse outcome. Hepatitis B vaccines provide protection from HDV infection.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV):
HCV is mostly transmitted through consumption of contaminated water or food. HEV is a common cause of hepatitis outbreaks in developing parts of the world and is increasingly recognized as an important cause of disease in developed countries. In India, it is more common in north India, especially Jammu and Kashmir.

*Hepatitis A and B are vaccine-preventable. The only vaccine-preventable cancer is Hepatitis B-induced liver cancer.

Early detection of silent longstanding persistence by the screening of HBV and HCV. Effective treatment is available for both these viruses which induce liver cancer and liver cirrhosis.
